Bangalore
The garden city of India, today, is a rapidly expanding metropolis. Situated 10,000 metres above sea level Bangalore, capital of the southern state of Karnataka, is known for its mild and comfortable climate. The last 10-12 years has seen Bangalore develop into the Silicon Valley of India with several multinational IT and Software companies having set up shop here. As a result the city is now connected by air, rail and road to all major cities of the country and has direct international connections to many cities worldwide.
